Its  objects  shall  be  to  encourage  a  better  acquaint¬ 
ance  among  the  Presbyterians  of  the  city  and  vicinity,

such  election.  Every  person  so  elected  shall,  within 
thirty  days  thereafter,  notify  the  Secretary  of  his  ac¬ 
ceptance  of  the  election,  and  remit  to  him  the  amount
